There is no algorithm that will ever predict that someone will do something100% because there are too many factors, including those that come up during the opportunity to commit a crime, to account for. That doesn’t even cover the fact that the algorithm can only predict based on the information it is given and calculate based on our assumptions about people based on other data.
At best it will be the technical equivalent of stop and frisk, with racist outcomes based on racist assumptions. Like most forensic stuff, it will just be technology used to justify what people already assume.
Not to mention that stupid people doing stupid things makes them very unpredictable at the individual level.
